FIBER CORPORATION I. RISK FACTORS 1. Economic risks PROSPESTUS Economic risks are changes in the economy along with the change of fiscal and monetary policies that directly affect the operation of the company. Economic growth rate risk In recent years, the global financial crisis and economic downturn had a strong impact on the economy of the world and Vietnam‟s. However, according to forecasts of the World Bank, the global economy is recovering with GDP growth expected to rise from 2,6% (2014) to 2,8% (2015), 3,3% (2016 ) and 3,2% (2017)1. With that trend, in 2014 Vietnam‟s economy has become brighter and gradually more stable than the previous year. The macroeconomic indicators shown that the momentum of growth is sustaining strongly, the recovery becomes clearer and more stable. In addition, financial market also shows positive changes; government budget is improved. Specifically, data from the General Statistics Office of Vietnam showed that in 2014, all the macroeconomic indicators have increased significantly, the Gross Domestic Product (GDP) growth rate was estimated at 5,98% in 2014 compared to 2013, while the first quarter grew 5,06%, the second quarter grew 5,34%, the third quarter was 6,07% and the fourth quarter rose 6,96%. The GDP growth rate in the year of 2014 is higher than the growth of 2012 and 2013, which respectively are 5,25% and 5,42%. In the first half of 2015, Vietnam‟s economy continues to have good growth signs. According to statistics of the National Financial Supervisory Commission, the GDP growth rate of the first 6 months of 2015 was estimated at 6,1%, which is the highest compared to the same periods of the 5 most recent years. Based on the recovery momentum, the Commission forecasts the GDP growth rate in the first 9 months of 2015 would be 6,3% and the year 2015 could potentially reach 6,5%. However, difficulties in production and business activities have not been fully addressed, the internal weaknesses of the economy have not been completely overcome, therefore the economic risks will remain as significant factors to all of the enterprises in general and Century Synthetic Fiber Corporation in particular. Even so, economic risks still have less influence on the textile and garment industry than other industries. Retail sales in the global garments market maintained an average growth rate of about 3,8% per year over the period 2010 to 2014 and achieved sales of USD 1.317 billion in 20142. During the period 2014 – 2019, Marketresearch.com 1 Source: www.worldbank.org 2 Source: http://www.marketresearch.com/MarketLine-v3883/Global-Apparel-Retail-9042467/ THE ADVISOR: DONG A SECURITIES CO., LTD 8 CENTURY SYNTHETIC FIBER CORPORATION PROSPESTUS expects retail sales in the global garments market will continue to grow rate of 4,6% per year and reach USD 1.651 billion in sales in 2019. The growing demand for apparel products in the up coming years will be due to population growth, expectation of the recovery in global economic, the increase in per capita income and purchasing power in developing countries. For filament polyester industry, the average growth rate is 8,4% per year during 2010 – 20143 period. According to the Japan Chemical Fiber Association, polyester fiber demand is expected to maintain the growth rate of 4,1% per year from 2013 to 2030. Interest rate risk When a company raises external capital to use for production and business activities, it will face risks when market interest rates rise or fall. In 2014, the interest rate is dropped 1,5 – 2% per year and maintaining a stable trend compared to the year of 2013. Specifically, the prime rate is remained at 9% per year, the re-discount interest rate is 4,5% per year and the re-financing interest rate is 6.5% per year. The deposit interest rate generally fluctuate between 5% to 5,5% per year with maturity from 1 to 6 months, maturity from 6 to 12 months has the interest rate is 5,7% to 6,8% per year and from 6,8% to 7,5% per year for maturity over 12 months. In addition, the lending rate for short – term maturity is 7% to 9% per year and from 9,5% to 11% per year for medium and long term maturity. In general, the interest rate trend is downward and stable throughout 2014 compared to the end of 2013 which has contributed positively supporting for production and business activities to all of the enterprises, creating favorable conditions to access to cheap loans, expanding their investments efficiently. The Century Synthetic Fiber Corporation has obviously gained benefit from that. Inflation risk During 2014, Vietnam‟s inflation remained low while oil prices and goods are under downward pressure. According to the General Statistics Office, inflation in 2014 reached its lowest level in the last 10 years. The Consumer Price Index (CPI) is 1%, core inflation is 2,37% in the first half of 2015 compared to the same period last year. Overall, both inflation and core inflation has been almost unchanged for the last 4 months. The National Financial Supervisory Commission 3 Source: The Fiber Year 2015 THE ADVISOR: DONG A SECURITIES CO., LTD 9 CENTURY SYNTHETIC FIBER CORPORATION PROSPESTUS forecasts the core inflation in 2015 will be about 3% and inflation will be lower 3%. A stable inflation has contributed to improving the actual living standards of people, strengthening the purchasing power of the domestic currency, improving liquidity, reducing deposit interest rate and lending rate, increasing investment attractiveness in Vietnam… As a result, the business environment becomes favorable, more attractive for domestic firms. 2. Legal risks Like other companies operating in Vietnam, STK has also been influenced and governed by the domestic legislation system. In addition, as a public company, STK is also affected by the Enterprise Law and other legal documents on Securities and Stock Market. As Vietnam is still a developing country, many laws and bylaws at this stage are still in the fine-tuned progress. The change in policy is somehow inevitable and more or less causes a certain impact on the Company's business operations. However, legal risk is a systemic risk, it requires each company to adjust and adapt accordingly to maximize its positive sides, and limit its negative effects. STK already has an appropriate mechanism to monitor, update and adjust to get the best adapting to the changes in the regulatory environment in Vietnam. 3. Specific risks Cost fluctuation of raw materials risk With business activity is fiber production, price fluctuations in raw materials are a particular risk to STK. Polyester fibers are made from polyester resin pellets, a composition of the oil. Therefore, a downturn in oil price in recent time has affected to raw materials costs and product‟s price. However, the level of influence of the oil price depends on market‟s supply and demand and company‟s position, negotiation capability in the market. The company aims to maintain a certain margin between the selling price and the cost of raw materials. To achieve this target, the company bases on a mechanism of buying raw materials and selling goods, which is the price of goods is always determined based on the inventory and goods to arrive. Besides, thanks to the high quality production of goods and company‟s reputation in the market, when raw material prices fall, STK can still maintain selling prices in spite of downturn in raw materials costs. THE ADVISOR: DONG A SECURITIES CO., LTD 10 CENTURY SYNTHETIC FIBER CORPORATION PROSPESTUS Chart 1: Selling price and chip’s price Moreover, to minimize the risk of price fluctuations in raw materials, STK has actively expanded the supplying sources of raw materials and not to depend too much on any single supplier. Any main products has been purchased continuously with at least 3 suppliers. Besides, the company has registered member of a prestigious international site to update market price regularly to make sure buying raw materials with reasonable prices. This measure helps the Company to ensure the stability of raw material price in a certain period of time, minimize the shortcomings in production and business when raw material prices fluctuate widely. Exchange rate risk The company is exposed to exchange rate risk due to the fair value of future cash flows will fluctuate simultaneously with the changes in foreign exchange rates when the loans, revenue and the company's costs using other currencies than Vietnam dong. Thanks to the consistent operating solutions, the State Bank‟s synchronous combination between exchange rate policy, interest rate and monetary policy instruments, the exchange rate in 2014 has remained stable trend, the fluctuation range has been narrower. On June 19th 2014, the State Bank announced adjusting the average exchange rate of interbank between VND and USD. Consequently, the exchange rate of the USD increased to VND 21,246, after a year holding rate of VND 21,036. As a result in 2014, the exchange rate beetween VND and US dollar in general is relatively stable and located entirely within the control of the State Bank. The fluctuation range within VND 21.200 per USD to VND 21.300 per USD in 2014 is considered to be relatively stable compared to other currency pairs in the region and around the world. In the first 6 months of 2015, The State Bank has adjusted up two times with total tuning is 2% of the averageinterbank rate from 21,246 VND/USD to 21,458 VND/USD on January 7th and up to 21,673 VND/USD on May 7th in order to maintain the competitiveness of Vietnam‟s economy. China, Vietnam‟s large trade partner, devaluate their Renminbi for 4.6% in August 2015 will cause adverse effect on THE ADVISOR: DONG A SECURITIES CO., LTD 11 CENTURY SYNTHETIC FIBER CORPORATION PROSPESTUS Vietnam‟s economy. Therefore, on August 12th 2015, the State Bank of Vietnam (SBV) decided to raise the exchange rate margin between the Vietnam dong and US dollar from +/- 1% to +/- 2% and on August 19th 2015, the SBV adjusted the average exchange rate of interbank between the Vietnam dong and US dollars from 21,673 VND/USD to 21,890 VND/USD, while exchange rate margin was adjusted from +/- 2% to +/- 3%. Currently, production and business activities of the company is using multiple foreign currencies. Raw materials are mainly imported from abroad with the proportion accounting for 75%-80% in cost of goods sold. In addition, the company has long-term loan worth USD 24 million investment to expand fiber production in Trang Bang branch - Stage 3. However, the company has always maintained the proportion of export sales (STK‟s productions export 70% of their capacity) to have enough foreign currency to import raw materials, repayment of principal and interest of loan in USD. Therefore, exchange rate losses are very low. When Vietnam dong devaluating, the company shall primarily losses in unrealize exchange rate relating to the revaluation of foreign currency loan at the end of the accounting period. Specifically, financial expenses include foreign exchange losses and interest from 2013 to the first 6 months of 2015 have the proportion ranged from 0.86% - 3.29% / net turnover sales. Labor supply risk The free trade agreements like FTA, TPP bring many opportunities to develop production and business activities in textile and garment industry, making Vietnamese enterprises require more labor. However the southern enterprises in textile and garment industry facing a situation of manpower‟s movement, making it harder to recruit high quality labor. According to the Vietnam Textile and Apparel Association, total workforce of textile and garment industry is currently about 2.5 million people but industry workers are only accounting for 15%. Especially, the shortage of senior personnel with experience working in an international environment, qualifications and highly discipline labor is a challenge for STK. Therefore, the company has always focused on training labor, improving remuneration policies and the qualitiy of working environment in order to minimize the risk of labor shortages. Competitive risk Competitive risk is when the company lose the competitiveness in market. In order to maintain the competitiveness in the same sector, not only in domestic but also in worldwide, the strategy of company is providing the best quality products with competitive prices and good after – sales service. To do this, the company has invested in modern machinery, training a skilled workforce and applying modern management system to strictly control the quality and costs. In addition, to attract and retain employees, besides competitive salaries, the company also has a program to issue preferential shares which is restricted to staff and employees, training policies, opportunities for advancement, and other welfare programs. For suppliers, to obtain products with stable quality and competitive input prices, the company has maintained its THE ADVISOR: DONG A SECURITIES CO., LTD 12 CENTURY SYNTHETIC FIBER CORPORATION PROSPESTUS reputation as a reliable partner. In addition, prudent investment policy and controlling financial situation closely can help company maintaining a healthy financial situation to be able to overcome all of the market‟s waves. Thanks to that proper strategic direction, the company has continously maintained a high growth rate during the past 15 years despite of fierce competition in the domestic and international market. In 2015, when Trans-Pacific Strategic Economic Partnership Agreement (TPP), Free trade agreement with South Korea, the EU and the Customs Union Russia - Belarus Kazakhstan being negotiated and signed, growth opportunities for Vietnam‟s textile and garment industry continue to expand. So, although many FDI enterprises have already had investment activities in Vietnam's garment sector in all phases from spinning to knitting, weaving, designing, and sewing, but with available competitive advantage along with market expansion, increasing in demand for fiber while the fiber supply remains limited, especially for long staple fibers with high quality that STK are focusing on production, STK forecasts that It will have better growth prospects than Femalea thanks to the advantages and preference from the Free Trade Agreement. 4. Other risks Credit risk The client does not implement its contractual obligations may cause financial loss to the company. However, in order to minimize credit risk, the company requires almost all of the customers paying cash on delivery and only granted trade credits to a small number of traditional customer. Shares’s price fluctuation risk When the company's shares are listed on the Ho Chi Minh Stock Exchange, the shares‟s price will fluctuate not only depend on the internal operations but also affected by the market fluctuation. In recent times, due to the negative impact from the domestic economic and government‟s operating measures the macroeconomic to control inflation, the stock market and the price of most shares was falling. However in exciting period, the stock market has become undeniably a pretty good capital mobilization channel for businesses. The share listing is also an inevitable trend to enhance value for shareholders throughout increasing liquidity and enhancing governance practices thereby improving the company‟s business performance. Other risks Beside the above mentioned risks, there are other unforseen risks such as natural disasters (drought, storm, flood, etc.), war or epidemics, etc. These risks are less likely to happen, but when it does, the Company might be heavily affected. For prevention of such risks, the company has purchased insurance for all risk assets and business interruption as a precaution to the property‟s damage and commodities as well as a cost recovery and profit when production and bussiness activities is interupted.

Profit after tax increased from the same period last year mainly due to (1) gross profit margin increased due to the rate of selling prices‟s decline was lower than the raw material prices, (2) selling expense over revenue downed from 2,4% to 2,2% due to the proportion of exports by CIF method (the seller must arrange transportation and insurance) decreased leading to the shipping costs and insurance THE ADVISOR: DONG A SECURITIES CO., LTD 59 CENTURY SYNTHETIC FIBER CORPORATION PROSPESTUS reduced and (3) the interest expense decreased from 13,9 billion to 7,6 billion thanks to lower interest rates. The proportion of profit after tax / average owner‟s equity increased 2,71% in 2014 over the same period. This increase is not as strong as the growth rate of profit after tax because the Company already issued shares to the public in order to increase the Chartered capital, leading to the equity in 2014 also increased by 34,14% compare to 2013. 7.2 Factors affecting the Business and Production activities of the Company: Favourable factors: - Abundant and long time commitment customers: As a reputable and experienced company for many years, the brand name "Century" has been recognized in textile raw material producing industry, not only in Vietnam but also in the international market. In Vietnam, STK is a company specializing in manufacturing and supplying long staple fiber, and is one of two leading companies (STK and Hung Nghiep and Taiwan Formosa) providing long and high-class fibers. With modern technologies, high quality and good after sales service, STK‟s products can satisfy demands of domestic customers including Thanh Cong Textile Garment Investment Trading JSC, Thai Tuan Textile and Garment Co., Ltd, Huge Bamboo, Formosa, DECOTEX, Daluen, Samil Vina, Samwoon, Global Dyeing, Khang Viet, Eclat Fabric, Sue, Chung Luong, Ly Minh, Hoa Khanh Da Nang Textile, etc and foreign customers like YRC, Tongsiang, Golden Empire, Huge Rock, Universal, Pinewood, Hiknit, Hansea, Panko, Handoo, Shindo, Hansung,... These companies provide materials for world-famous brands such as Nike, Adidas, Uniqlo, Decathlon, Puma, Columbia, Guess, etc. Owning a various customer list with long relationships and loyalty means a lot for the sustainable development of the Company. - Management team is highly qualified, experienced and having strong attachment with the Company: STK has a dynamic management team with high responsibility spirits and strong attachment with the Company, technical staff also has skilled workers who are highly qualified and experienced in the industry. Due to being invested with modern machinery and equipments, scientific management methods, STK‟s plant has effectively increased productivity and output, lowered product cost and contributed to increase competitiveness of Company‟s products. At the same time, STK has maintained good relationships with machinery vendors, helps the Company receive technical supports as well as update latest advances in the field. Gradually changing of units management method will contribute to streamline personnel apparatus, reduce cost, well manage cost, and increase the Company‟s operational efficiency in the future. THE ADVISOR: DONG A SECURITIES CO., LTD 60 CENTURY SYNTHETIC FIBER CORPORATION PROSPESTUS - Shareholders unite, support production and Business activities well: Shareholders of the Company are domestic and foreign experienced investors, both individuals and organizations. They contribute helpful opinions in financial aspect as well as global vision. Therefore, every direction and development strategy of the Company have always been considered and comprehensively planned. - Trend of Orders shifting from China to Vietnam Order shifting wave leads to the increasing mass shifting of fabric manufacturers (fiber manufacturer's customers) from China to Vietnam due to higher production cost in China (labor, land renting, environment etc.), inherent risks, and imposing technical barriers and import tariffs of other countries on manufacturers from China. - Opportunities from FTA Agreement: According to FTA between Vietnam and South Korea (“VKFTA”), the import tariff of fiber from Vietnam to Korea will decline from 8% to 0% as soon as the VKFTA takes effect at the beginning 2016. This tariff reduction will directly boost the demand for import of Vietnamese fiber of Korean customers. In addition, VFKTA will cut the import tariffs of Vietnam‟s garment from 13% to 0%, Which will indirectly promote the development of textile and increases demand for fiber in Vietnam Market. Under the FTA between Vietnam and EU (“EVFTA”), (to be signed in 2015), the import tariffs of clothing product from Vietnam to EU market will be reduced to 0% (from 9.6%) during 7 years since EVFTA agreement becomes effective. In order to get this tax preference, garments must be made of fabric produced in Vietnam, Asean, Japan, South Korea or EU. Therefore, the argreement will be a contributor promoting the development of the Weaving and Dyeing industry and increase the fiber demand in Vietnamese market. - Opportunities from TPP Agreement: TPP agreement is expected to bring great opportunities for the textile industry including STK to improve the scale, quality and competitiveness in supplying raw textile materials. With the advantage of being one of few companies in Vietnam satisfying TPP‟s "Yarn forward rule”, demand for STK‟s yarns is considered to soar when the TPP agreement is signed. - Other advantages: In addition, strong relationships with key raw materials suppliers help the Company get favorable purchase terms. Besides, a healthy financial standing is the basis for STK to attract capital investment to grow stably. With reasonable export revenue structure, STK uses sales proceeds in USD to fund raw material purchases and to repay USD denominated loans, by which, the Company creates a natural hedge mechanism for foreign currency risk. THE ADVISOR: DONG A SECURITIES CO., LTD 61 CENTURY SYNTHETIC FIBER CORPORATION PROSPESTUS Furthermore, based on stable export revenue, STK can access low cost loans dominated in USD to finance working capital and its construction investments. Disadvantages: In general, the economy is still in a tough period which limits the purchasing power of the whole economy as well as the domestic and foreign textile industry. Beside market‟s purchasing power, STK is also influenced by the following factors: Increasing input costs: input costs such as gas, oil, electricity, wages and compulsory insurance (social and health insurance) costs have simultaneously risen, affected significantly the performance of garment enterprises. - Filaments fiber production requires high technique and stable power. STK asked the electric power plant Cu Chi and Trang Bang to ensure the supply of electricity for its stable production. - When TPP Agreement is signed, there will witness a new wave of foreign as well as domestic investing in Vietnam soon to take advantage of domestic fabric shortage, leading to a large demand for yarns in general and the Company‟s yarn products in particular. However, in the long run, other yarn manufacturers will invest in Vietnam or expand capacity to catch the needs of yarn shortages. Note: STK has currently competed globally; while foreign firms in Vietnam would be more vulnerable than in their domestic market due to language barriers, customer network. Investing in modern or obsolete machinery and equipments, etc. will affect the competitiveness on product quality, depreciation, costs, etc. - 8. Position of the Company compared with other firms in the same industry 8.1 Position of the Company in the industry Currently, there are only 5 DTY producers in Vietnam, including: STK corporation. Formosa Hung Nghiep Co., Ltd. Hualon Corporation. Dong Tien Hung Company Limited. PetroVietnam Petrochemical and Textile Fiber Joint Stock Company (PVTex) Of which, only STK and Formosa Hung Nghiep Co., Ltd. position themselves and focus on high quality products. Founded in 2000 with an initial capacity of 4,800 tons DTY, after 15-year development, STK has increased capacity to 8 times, up to 37,000 tons DTY/FDY per year. As a result, the Company‟s business grows rapidly, revenues and net incomes in 2014 was VND1.457billion, VND106,1 billion, respectively. THE ADVISOR: DONG A SECURITIES CO., LTD 62 CENTURY SYNTHETIC FIBER CORPORATION PROSPESTUS The Company invested in expanding Trang Bang Branch 3 factorywith a total investment of USD33.9mn, or VND729bn, to meet market demand on high-class polyester filaments DTY. In this project, the Company will invest in automatical DTY spinning machines with the most modern technology provided by Oerlikon Barmag, the world market leader in development and production of spinning systems and equipment for manmade fibers. This project is expected to provide 15,000 tons of POY and 15,000 tons of DTY per year for domestic market and exporting, bringing the total capacity of the Company to more than 52,000 tons of yarn per year. Currently, about 50% of the expanding capacity already is put into commercial operation from July 2015 and other 50% will continue to be put into operation in Q1/2016. With the economies of scale advantage, STK is considered to benefit more from catching the opportunities of shifting fabric production from China to Vietnam as well as the opportunities from TPP. Along with the purpose of maximizing production capacity, the USD33.9mn investment in Trang Bang 3 is a preparation in anticipation of the opportunities mentioned above. The Company also plans to expand to weaving and dyeing sectors to fulfill the supply chain. Table 14 Error!

PVTEX primarily focused on Staple – Polyester Staple Fiber (PSF), positioning as the low quality segment, therefore PVTEX is not a direct rival to STK. The company‟s driving forces are quality, price and after-sales service to compete with PVTEX‟s DTY. STK has proved its brandname and position as a leading yarn producer, with modern machinery and technologies; dynamic and experienced management team; skilled workers, capable technical staff; and effective corporate governance. As a result, the Company's products can compete with other companies‟ products globally. In addition, the Company also has the advantage of building brand reputation in the market and has a large network of high-end customers who are in need of a stable supply of high-quality DTY and FDY. STK prospect is very promising given its advantages and brandname.

On the World, Fiber is classified into two types including natural fibers (about 33% of total demand) and manmade fibers (about 67% total fiber demand, of which polyester fibers accounts for about 73% total manmade fiber demand). Compared to the other kinds of fiber, polyester filament fiber achieved the highest growth rate at 8,6% in the period 2005-2013, higher than the industry average growth at 2,9%, the polyester staple at 3.7% và and the cotton at negative 0,75%.

Vietnam fiber industry will take preferential tariffs benefit when exporting to foreign markets under EPA ( Vietnam- Japan FTA), EVFTA (Vietnam EU FTA), VKFTA (Vietnam Korea FTA) and TPP. In detail, Vietnam fiber, fabric and garment products selling to EU will all enjoy 0% import tariff, down from 3,2%, 6,4% and 9,6% respectively. For the US market, import tariff could be reduced to 0% from the current of 17,5% if TPP is concluded.. Moreover, according to VKFTA which was already signed on 5 May, 2015, the current import tariff imposed on Vietnam fiber and garment respectively 8% and 13% will be reduced to 0%. In addition, Vietnam T&G is expected to grow rapidly in order to satisfy the serious lack of raw material supply. (Currently, Vietnam only produces 0,9 billion meters of fabric while total domestic fabric demand is 6.8 billion meters). The development of weaving and dyeing subsectors will pave the wave for using fibers made in Vietnam in order to enjoy preferential import tariffs imposed by EU, Japan (if fabric forward rule requirement is met) and US ( if yarn forward rule requirement is met).

STK also has a flexible production of high 4 Source: "The Fiber Year 2014 - World Survey on Textile & Nonwoven" is published by Oerlikon on 14/05/2014 THE ADVISOR: DONG A SECURITIES CO., LTD 72 CENTURY SYNTHETIC FIBER CORPORATION PROSPESTUS quality outputs which meets international standards and ensure good and stable quality products. The company‟s export revenue accounts for 80% total revenue due to higher demand from foreign countries than Vietnam. In fact, the domestic supply of fiber does not enough to meet the demand, so STK has not faced fierce competition. Especially in polyester filament yarn, there are not many companies can meet the standards in technology, product quality and management to be able to produce this kind of product. STK has not faced direct competition from Chinese companies as China fibers are mostly of low quality while STK‟s products are positioned as the high quality segment. So this is also a huge competitive advantage of STK. In the near future, there will be a dramatic increase in high quality fiber demand when the FDI companies shift their production into Vietnam. Therefore, STK is expected to expand their domestic market share. Besides, the Company intends to expand business activities along the supply chain of T&G industry in both upstream and downstream, in particular it will expand operations in weaving - dyeing (in Q22015, STK invested in Unitex and collaborate to build Polyester Chips manufacturing plant to produce raw materials feeding to the existing production lines, effectively to eliminate the need for external suppliers and avoid any unnecessary mark-up (if have suitable partner).
